What exactly is MS Project?

[Max]

I have a new computer at home that this is installed on, and I don't know how
to best utilize it.

Can someone point me to an overview?

TIA.

Max

Max,
Project is Scheduling software, primarily used to implement Critical
Path Scheduling for a work effort involving multiple resources over a
finite period of time. Like building an office, creating software,
going to the moon or climbing Mt Everest. It's NOT for ongoing efforts
like running a business or manufacturing.
Like a lot of software, it can be used at different levels of
sophistication and comensurate difficulty.
I'd reccommend you go to the bookstore and sit down with a copy of "MS
Project for Dummies" or one of the more basic manuals and read the
first chapter. And visit the MVP website.
Best of luck.
